Thanks for the link, I just read that article....

I truly love how he "assembled four source units that represent the state of the art in component design" for his test:

Sony CDX-A2001 Car CD Changer $1,800
Denon DCD-3520 Home CD Player $1,500
Nakamichi TD-1200II Car Cassette Tuner $1,595
Nakamichi Dragon Home Cassette Deck $2,295

Now, I don't know much about what was "State of the Art" in 1990 (when the test was conducted), but since the most expensive component in the test cost $2,295 in 1990... which is roughly equal to $3,826 in 2009, I really have to wonder if those products were indeed "State of the Art"...
